Hello,
I've just compiled a fresh 2.6.17-rc3-g8f3468ed kernel from linux-mips git for
my indigo2. The network card seems to have gone wonky, while the seeq driver
loads fine:
-- snip --
Serial: IP22 Zilog driver (1 chips).
ttyS0 at MMIO 0xc000e830 (irq = 45) is a IP22-Zilog
Console: ttyS0 (IP22-Zilog)

when trying to do dhcp:

DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down
even though the network is up...
The kernel is compiled in 32bit mode, and everything seems fine otherwise. I
am running debian which comes with a 2.4.27 kernel by default, with which the
seeq card works fine. There seems to be a lot of packets being sent though,
as the light at the other end of the cable blinks a lot.
The kernel was compiled with:
gcc version 4.0.3 20051201 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-5)
No errors seem to show up aside rom the recieve_packet failed anywhere...
Any ideas?
Please let me know if I can provide any more useful info.
Cheers,
Damian
